Let us first explain the different classifications and divisions. There are Professionals, Amateurs and Junior Divisions along with occasional female-only divisions. The main difference is Professionals compete for money while the others compete for awards and trophies.
Professionals are then classified by Male or Female along with age. MPO is under 40, MP40 is 40+ masters and MP50 and these same goes for Females, FPO, FP40, etc. The Amateur divisions, are broken down into:
Advanced, Intermediate, Recreational, Novice, Advanced Women, Intermediate Women, Recreational Women, Novice Women, Amateur Master 40+, Amateur Master Women 40+ and by increments of 5 all the way up to 70.
Once you start playing in multiple tournaments, you will start to accumulate a player rating. This rating will slowly deteriorate if you don’t play for a period of time. Advanced players will be a rating of >=935 while Intermediate is < 935.
